IoT Security Based on Real-Time Queuing Process Monitoring in Smart Homes

Abstract

This paper presents real-time monitoring of processes that listen on IBM queues which transfer messages, alerting the smart home ownership in case of exceptions. To help that monitoring, the IBM CheckMK tool notifies the residents by email or SMS with a specific message showing the problem that occurred when a certain flow in the home has changes due to unknown causes. The actual announcement to the owner of the house can be made through various platforms that verify in real time the e-mail address or phone number and notify the residents with an alarm in case of a major problem at the level of IoT-based processes and components. It is shown that through this implementation the situations in which the messages do not reach the recipient person in the smart home environment can be avoided, thus causing even financial damage.
